Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to estimate the concentration of Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca in the following tissues: brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney and femoral muscles in conditions of experimentally induced hyperthyreosis. In general, in state of hyperthyreosis the concentration of all elements was considerably higher compared to euthyreosis. However, there are a few exceptions. Liver and heart tissue possessed higher concentration of Zn and Cu and kidney of Cu in euthyreosis.
